The music of Tanlines – the pairing of singer-keyboardist Eric Emm and multi-instrumentalist Jesse Cohen – finds a lightsome spot in the nooks and crannies of ’80s revivalism, or at least one illuminated by a disco ball. Subtle polyrhythms, bouncy synths, swooping melodies – their album “Mixed Emotions” (out last week via True Panther) is enough to get everybody off their fannies. Which “All of Me” does in the video by director Julian Barratt (“The Mighty Boosh”). Brilliantly done. And I could swear I’ve seen younger versions of those club-goers in Echo Park.
